FAQs
How do I use the Prym Pattern Pencil?
Draw or trace your embroidery design directly onto the fabric. For permanent transfer before stitching, gently iron over the traced lines. The marks can be washed away with water.
Is the red mark permanent?
No, the red mark is designed to be washable. It can be removed with water.
Can I use this on dark fabrics?
While the red color provides good contrast on lighter fabrics, it may be less visible on very dark materials. Testing on a scrap is recommended.
What temperature should I use for the iron-on transfer?
Refer to your fabric's care label for the appropriate heat setting. Generally, a medium heat setting is effective, but always test on a scrap first.
How should I store the pencil?
Store the pencil in a cool, dry place with the cap securely fastened to prevent the tip from drying out.
Can I sharpen the pencil?
Yes, the pencil can be sharpened using a standard pencil sharpener. Be gentle to avoid breaking the tip.
Will the mark damage delicate fabrics?
It is always best practice to test on an inconspicuous area or a fabric scrap first to ensure the pencil does not damage or stain your specific fabric type.
Troubleshooting
Mark is difficult to remove
Ensure you are using water to remove the mark. For stubborn marks, try gently rubbing with a damp cloth. If the fabric is washable, a gentle wash cycle might be necessary. Always check fabric care instructions.
Iron-on transfer is not clear
Ensure the fabric is smooth and flat before transferring. Use gentle, even pressure with the iron. Verify the iron's temperature is appropriate for the fabric type. Re-trace the pattern if needed for a bolder line.
Pencil tip breaks easily
Apply lighter pressure when drawing or tracing. If sharpening, use a gentle hand with a standard sharpener. Avoid dropping the pencil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required. The Prym Pattern Pencil is ready to use out of the packaging. Ensure the tip is clean before use.
Compatibility: This pencil is designed for use on most common embroidery fabrics. It is recommended to test the pencil on a small, hidden section of the fabric or a fabric scrap first to ensure the mark is erasable and does not damage the material. The iron-on transfer function works best on fabrics that can withstand moderate heat.
Care: Store the pencil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap on when not in use to prevent the tip from drying out. If the tip becomes dull, it can be gently sharpened with a standard pencil sharpener, though care should be taken not to press too hard.
